How many successfull defences did Foreman make?

Ross you know as well as I that does not mean that George Foreman was not a great heavyweight fighter even if he did not become a great champion. Losing to Ali, the greatest ever is not a bad way to lose a title. Conversely some champions have had more defences than Tyson but do not make them greater than Mike including Wlad.
What decent wins did Foreman have after Ali?

In Tysons case, its always "he had such a short successfull period and when he came up against someone who wasnt intimidated the bully got bullied"

Well, Mike had a far more successfull career than either of Foremans.
